Are you asking about the fraction 1/3?
1/6
To find the fraction of your total allowance that you spent on Wednesday, we need to calculate the total amount of money you had on Monday and the amount you spent on Wednesday.
First, let's determine the amount of money you had on Monday, which is given as $13.
Next, we'll calculate the amount of money you spent on Tuesday. Since you spent 13 of the money you had on Monday, the amount you spent on Tuesday is also $13.
Now, we need to find the amount you spent on Wednesday, which is 13 of what you spent on Tuesday. To do this, we multiply the amount you spent on Tuesday ($13) by 13. This gives us $13 x 13 = $169.
Finally, to determine the fraction of your total allowance spent on Wednesday, we divide the amount spent on Wednesday ($169) by the total allowance you had on Monday ($13).
Fraction spent on Wednesday = Amount spent on Wednesday / Total allowance on Monday = $169 / $13
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of $169 and $13 is 13.
After simplifying the fraction, we get:
Fraction spent on Wednesday = $169 / $13 = 13 / 1
Therefore, the fraction of your total allowance that you spent on Wednesday is 13/1.
